ORMED: 1960, Liverpool, England
DISBANDED: 1970
Inspired by the "skiffle boom", a student at Quarry Bank
School in Liverpool named John Lennon decided to form a
group in 1957 which laid the foundation to what was to
become the most famous rock band of all time. John's
original name was "The Blackjacks". However, this name only
lasted a week and John used the school name as inspiration
for the later name "The Quarry Men" in March 1957. John
sang and played guitar, Colin Hanton played drums, Eric
Griffiths on guitar, Pete Shotton on washboard, Rod Davis
on banjo and Bill Smith on tea-chest bass. Bill was soon
replaced by Ivan Vaughan.
